For the second part, you're missing a crucial part: speed of light is constant relative to the observer. This is where realtivistic effects come into play -- speed being an expression of distance over time, if the speed and distance stay the same the time has to be variable. In other words, a second isn't always a second -- your second may be more of a second than mine. If I'm going fast enough, I may experience hours while you do not, so that when we meet up again significantly more time has passed for me.
You seem to be hung up on the idea of an absolute frame of reference, when in reality there is no such thing. It's all relative, my man.
